The area of a trapezium is 30 cm² and the distance between its parallel sides is 4 cm. If one of the parallel sides is of length 0.1 m, find the length of the other parallel side.1). 32). 43). 54). 6

Answer»

Let the length of the required SIDE be x cm

Area of the trapezium = [$(\FRAC{1}{2})$ × (sum of parallel sides) × (Distance between parallel sides)]

One of the parallel side = 0.1 m = 10 cm

Then, area of the trapezium = {¹/? × (10 + x) × 4} cm²

= (20 + 2x) cm²

But, the area of the trapezium = 30 cm² (given) 

⇒ 20 + 2x = 30 

⇒ 2x = 30 - 20 

⇒ 2x = 10 

⇒ x = 10/2 

⇒ x = 5

∴ The length of the other side is 5 cm.

Answer»

From the given data,

No of sides n = 20

Perimeter of the POLYGON i.e, sum of the total sides s = 2600

Let us consider smallest side be a

Largest side is 12 times that of the smallest side

∴ largest side = 12 a

By using sum of A.P formula, we get

Largest side = a + (n - 1) d = 12 a

Sum = n/2 × [2a + (n - 1)d] = n/2 × [ a + a + (n - 1)d] = n/2 × [a + 12a]

s = n/2 × (13a)

By substituting the value of s = 2600 and n = 20 ,we get

⇒ 2600 = 20/2 × (13a)

⇒ 2600 = 10 (13a)

⇒ 260 = 13 a

⇒ smallest side a = 20 cm and largest side 12a = 12 × 20 = 240 cm

We KNOW that largest side = a + (n - 1)d = 12a = 240

⇒ 240 = 20 + (20 - 1)d

⇒ 220 = 19 d

⇒ d = 220/19 = 11.57 cm

Answer»

Area of the square = 484 SQ. cm

Let each SIDE B x cm

X2 = 484

⇒ x = √484 = 22 cm

∴ Length of the wire = 4 × 22 = 88 cm

∴ Circumference of the desired circle = 88 cm

⇒ 2 × 22/7 × radius = 88

⇒ radius = 14 cm

⇒ Area = 22/7 × 14 × 14 = 616 sq. cm

Answer»

The diameter of a SPHERE is equal to the diameter of another sphere.

Let the radius of FIRST sphere be x cm and radius of second sphere will ALSO be x cm.

The curved surface area of first sphere = 4πr2[Where, r = radius]

= 4π × (x)2 = 4πx2 cm2

The volume of the second sphere = (4/3) × π × r3 [Where, r = radius]

= (4/3) × π × x3 cm3

The curved surface area of the first and the volume of the second are NUMERICALLY equal.

4πx2 = (4/3) × π × x3

⇒ x = 4 × (3/4)

⇒ x = 3

Hence, the radius of the first sphere = 3

Answer»

⇒ Height of the trapezium (h) = 20 cm

⇒ Area of the trapezium (A) = 330 cm2

⇒ Ratio of the parallel side = 4 : 7 = 4x & 7x

⇒ Area of trapezium (A) = 1/2 (sum of parallel side) × height

⇒ 330 = 1/2(4x + 7x) × 20

⇒ 330 × 2 = 11x × 20

⇒ 660/20 = 11x

⇒ 33/11 = x

⇒ x = 3

⇒ Shorter side = 4x = 4 × 3 = 12 cm

Answer»

A rhombus has 2 congruent opposite acute angles and TWO congruent opposite OBTUSE angles. One of the properties of a rhombus is that any two internal consecutive angles are supplementary. Let x be the acute angle. The obtuse angle is twice: 2x. Which gives the FOLLOWING equation.

x + 2 x = 180 degrees.

Solve the above equation for x.

3x = 180 degrees.

x = 60 degrees.

We use formula 2 for the area of a rhombus knowing the side length and one of the angles.

area of rhombus = (10 feet) 2 SIN (60 degrees)

= 86.6 feet 2 (rounded to 1 decimal PLACE)

Answer»

Solution :

Given:

Perimeter of five squares $P1 = 24cm , P2 = 32 cm, P3 = 40 cm , P4 = 80 cm, P5 = 100 cm$.

Perimeter of a square $= 4a$ units ,where $'a'$ is the side of the square. 

So, Side of the five squares are,

$a1 = 24/4 = 6$ cm 

$a2 = 32/4 = 8$ cm

$a3 = 40/4 = 10 $cm

$a4 = 80/4 = 20 $cm

$A5 = 100/4= 25$ cm

Area of a square $=a^2$ sq.units 

So,the area of five squares are

$A1 = 6^2 = 36$ sq.cm 

$A2 = 8^2 = 64$ sq.cm

$A3 = 10^2 = 100$ sq.cm

$A4 = 20^2 = 400$ sq.cm

$A5 = 25^2 = 625$ sq.cm

It is given that,

Area of the 6TH square = Sum of the area of five squares

$A6 = 36 + 64 + 100 + 400 + 625$

$A6 = 1225$ sq.cm.

$=> a6^2 = 1225$

$a6 = \sqrt{1225}$

$a6 = 35$

So, Perimeter of the $6th$ square $= 4a$ units

$P6 = 4 × 35$ cm

$P6 = 140$ cm

So, the perimeter of 6th square is $140$ cm .

The correct option is 3).140 cm

Answer»

Let the side of the ORIGINAL cube = ‘X’ cm

Side of the new cube = (x - 4) cm

Difference between the original and new volume = 604

x3 - (x - 4)= 604

⇒ x3 - (x+ 48X - 12x2 - 43) = 604

⇒ x3 - (x+ 48x - 12x2 - 64) = 604

⇒ x3 - x3- 48x + 12x2 + 64 = 604

⇒ 12x- 48x + 64 - 604 = 0

⇒ 12x2 - 48x - 540 = 0

⇒ x2 - 4x - 45 = 0

⇒ x2 - 9X + 5x - 45 = 0

⇒ x(x - 9) + 5(x - 9)= 0

⇒ (x + 5) (x - 9) = 0

⇒ (x + 5) = 0 or (x - 9) = 0

⇒ x = -5 or x = 9

Volume = (Side)3 = (9)3 = 729 cm3

∴ Volume of the original cube = 729 cm3

We know that, Volume of CYLINDER = πR2 × h

⇒ Radius of cylinder = Diameter/2

= 5 m

∴ Volume of cylinder = π × 52 × 2 m3

= 50π m3

Given, Velocity of WATER = 3 km/hr

= 3000 m/hr (? 1 km = 1000 m)

Inner diameter of pipe = 20 cm

∴ Inner radius = 20/2 = 10 cm

= 0.1 m (? 1m = 100 cm)

∴ Volume flow rate of water = π × (inner radius)2 × velocity of water

= π × 0.12 × 3000 m3/hr

= 30π m3/hr

Now,

⇒Time taken to fill the cistern $(,t = \frac{{Volume\ of\ cistern}}{{Volume\ flow rate}})$

$(\Rightarrow t = \frac{{50{\rm{\pi }}}}{{30{\rm{\pi }}}}\ {\rm{hr}})$

⇒ t = 1.67 hours

Or, t = 1 hr 40 minutes

Now,

⇒ Volume of CONE = (1/3) × π × (base radius)2 × height

⇒ Volume of cone before cutting = (1/3) × π × (15)2 × 40 = 3000π cm3

Now, when a cone is cut parallel to its base, the base part is the frustum and the remaining part is ALSO a cone, whose base radius is equal to the radius of the upper base of the frustum

⇒ Base radius of remaining cone = r cm

As,

⇒ Volume of frustum = 2000π cm3

⇒ Volume of other cone = 3000π – 2000π = 1000π cm3

Also,

⇒ Height of other cone = 40 – 10 = 30 cm

According to the question,

⇒ 1000π = (1/3) × π × (r)2 × 30

⇒ r2 = 100

⇒ r = √100 = 10 cm

∴ Radius of upper base of frustum = 10 cm

The perimeter of a triangle is 40 cm and its area is 60 cm2. If the largest side measures 17 cm, then the length (in cm) of the smallest side of the triangle is1). 42). 63). 84). 15

Answer»

Let a, b and c be the LENGTHS of the triangle.

Let ‘a’ be the greatest side with LENGTH 17 cm and c be the smallest length.

Given, Perimeter of triangle = 40 cm

⇒ (sum of all sides) = 40

⇒ a + b + c = 40

⇒ 17 + b + c = 40

⇒ b + c = 23

Then semi-perimeter:

⇒ s = Perimeter/2

= 40/2 cm

= 20 cm

We know that,

Area of triangle = $(\sqrt {s\left( {s - a} \right)\left( {s - b} \right)\left( {s - c} \right)})$

Where, s is semi perimeter and a, b and c are sides of the triangle

$(\Rightarrow 60 = \sqrt {20 \times \left( {20-17} \right) \times \left( {20-b} \right) \times \left( {20-\left( {23-b} \right)} \right)})$

Squaring both sides

⇒ 3600 = 60 × (20 - b) × (b - 3)

⇒ 60 = -b2 + 23b – 60

⇒ b2 – 23b + 120 = 0

Solving above we get,

b = 15 or 8

So if b = 15CM then,

⇒ c = 23 – 15

= 8 cm

And if b = 8 cm then,

⇒ c = 23 – 8

= 15 cm

Since C is the smallest side of triangle thus its length MUST be 8 centimeters.

As we know,

SURFACE area of SPHERE = 4π r2, where r is the radius of sphere

Surface area of cube = 6a2, where a is side of cube

∴ Surface area of sphere = surface area of cube

⇒ 4πr2 = 6a2

$(\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow \;\frac{{{r^2}}}{{{a^2}}} = \frac{6}{{4\pi }}\\ \Rightarrow \frac{r}{a} = \SQRT {\frac{3}{{2\pi }}}\end{array})$

Now,

As we know,

VOLUME of sphere = 4π r3/3, where r is the radius of sphere

Volume of cube = a3, where a is side of cube

∴ (volume of sphere)/(Volume of cube) $(= \;\frac{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3}}}{{{a^3}}})$

$(= \frac{{4\pi }}{3} \times {\left( {\frac{r}{a}} \right)^3} = \;\frac{{4\pi }}{3} \times {\left( {\sqrt {\frac{3}{{2\pi }}} } \right)^3} = \frac{{4\pi }}{3} \times \frac{3}{{2\pi }} \times \sqrt {\frac{3}{{2\pi }}}= \;\sqrt {\frac{6}{\pi }} )$

Answer»

A copper wire is bent in the form of an equilateral triangle and has area 121√3 cm2. If the same wire is bent into the form of a circle, the area (in cm2) enclosed by the wire is \(\left( {Take\;\pi= \frac{{22}}{7}} \right)\)1). 364.52). 693.53). 346.54). 639.5

Answer»

⇒ Let the side of an equilateral TRIANGLE be a

⇒ Area of equilateral triangle = (√3 a2)/4

121√3 = (√3 a2)/4

⇒ a2 = 121 × 4

⇒ a = 22

⇒ Total length of wire = 3A = 3 × 22

⇒ Total length of wire = 66

⇒ when it bent into CIRCLE then circumference = 66

⇒ 2πr = 66

⇒ r = (33/22) × 7

⇒ r = 10.5 cm

⇒ Area = πr2

⇒ Area = (22/7) × 10.52

⇒ Area = 346.5

The length and breadth of a rectangular field are increased by 15% and 10% respectively. What will be the effect on its area?1). 26.5% increase2). 28.5% increase3). 21.5% increase4). 26.5% decrease

Answer»

Let the length and BREADTH of the rectangular field are ‘l’ and ‘b’ RESPECTIVELY. Then,

According to the question,

Length of the field is increased by 15%-

⇒ New length = 115% of l = (23/20)l,

Breadth of the field is increased by 10%-
⇒ New breadth = 110% of b = (11/10)b

We KNOW that,

Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth

∴ New area of the rectangle = (23/20)l × (11/10)b

= (253/200) × l × b

Percent increase in the area-

$(= \frac{{\frac{{253}}{{200}}lb - lb}}{{lb}} \times 100\%= \left( {\frac{{253}}{{200}} - 1} \right) \times 100\%= \frac{{53}}{{200}} \times 100\%= 26.5\%)$

Hence, the required change in the area of the field is 26.5% increase.

If a cylinder of radius 4.3 cm and height 4.8 cm is melted and constructed into a cone of the same radius, what will be the height of this cone? (Use π = 22/7)1). 28.8 cm2). 14.4 cm3). 7.2 cm4). 21.6 cm

Answer»

A CYLINDER of radius 4.3 cm and HEIGHT 4.8 cm is melted and constructed into a cone of the same radius.

So, the volume of the cylinder = π × r2 × h = (22/7) × 4.32 × 4.8 cm3

Let the height of the cone be h.

So, the volume of the cone = (1/3) × π × r2 × h = (1/3) × (22/7) × 4.32 × h cm3

Now we can WRITE,

(1/3) × (22/7) × 4.32 × h = (22/7) × 4.32 × 4.8

⇒ h = 4.8 × 3

⇒ h = 14.4

∴ The height of the cone = 14.4 cm

The height of a solid cylinder is 8 cm and its base radius is 6 cm, a cone of equal height and the radius is extracted from the cylinder, then find the total surface area of the remaining solid.1). 6π cm22). 36π cm23). 216π cm24). 16π cm2

Answer»

Solution;

GIVEN:

HEIGHT of the cylinder, $H = 8$ cm

Base radius of the cylinder, $r = 6$ cm

Radius of the CONE,$r = 6$ cm 

Height of the cone, $h = 8$ cm

Therefore, slant height $l^2 = h^2 + r^2$

$l^2 = 8^2 + 6^2$

$l^2 = 64 + 36$

$l^2 = 100$

$l = (100)^{1/2}$

Slant height, $l = 10$ cm

TSA of remaining solid

= CSA of cylinder + Area ofbase of cylinder + CSA of cone

 $= 2 \pi r h + \pi r^2 + \pi r l$

$= \pi r [ 2h + r + l ]$

$= \pi 6 [ 2×8 + 6 + 10 ]$

$ =\pi 6 [ 16 + 16 ]$

$= \pi( 6 × 32)$

$= 192 \pi$ sq.cm.
